Descripción

An introduction to evidence-based mental health care for all mental health professionals - psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and clinical psychologists.

Puntos claves

  • An introduction to evidence-based mental health care for all professionals working in that field - very few other books are multi-disciplinary in this way.
  • Lays stress on critical appraisal of rating scales and clinical decision rules, which are important in mental health but not dealt with well in existing EBM books.
  • Self-testing exercises and answers reinforce learning.
  • Useful for postgraduate exams but does not focus entirely on that market.
